This is the first in a series of 10-minute videos to introduce new users to the basics of machine vision technology. In this video, users will learn what machine vision is, how it is used in factory automation, and its four most common applications.

What are the components that make up a machine vision system? How do they work together in a production environment? In the third video of this introductory series, we discuss the five key components that make up a vision system: lighting, lens, sensor, vision processing and communication, and the impact that each of these can have on your application.
